Eliquis (apixaban) Dosage and Side Effects

ELIQUIS is used to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (a condition characterized by an irregular heartbeat). This medicine is also given to treat or reduce the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT; a blood clot that usually develops in the leg) and pulmonary embolism (PE; a blood clot in the lung). In addition, Eliquis may be prescribed after hip or knee replacement surgery to help prevent DVT or PE.

Warnings and Precautions

ELIQUIS contains a black box warning because it may cause a higher risk of stroke when people with atrial fibrillation stop taking it.

Don't suddenly stop using this medicine without first talking to your doctor. Continue to take ELIQUIS even if you feel well, and don't miss any doses.

If you need to stop using ELIQUIS, your healthcare provider may prescribe another blood thinner to help prevent stroke.

ELIQUIS contains another black box warning because it may cause a serious blood clot around your spinal cord if you have an epidural, spinal anesthesia, or a spinal puncture while taking it.

This blood clot can lead to long-term or permanent paralysis.

Tell your doctor if you currently have, or have a history of having:

Epidural catheters

Spinal punctures

A spinal deformity

Spinal surgery

It's also important to let your healthcare provider know if you're taking any drugs that may affect how your blood clots, including:

Aggrastat (tirofiban)

Agrylin (anagrelide)

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Advil or Motrin (ibuprofen), Indocin or Tivorbex (indomethacin), ketoprofen, and Aleve, Anaprox, or Naprosyn (naproxen)

Brilinta (ticagrelor)

Coumadin or Jantoven (warfarin)

Effient (prasugrel)

Heparin

Integrilin (eptifibatide)

Persantine (dipyridamole)

Plavix (clopidogrel)

Pletal (cilostazol)

Ticlopidine

ELIQUIS may interact with certain medicines that are commonly used during a medical emergency.

It's important that you or a family member tells healthcare professionals that you're taking ELIQUIS, in case of an emergency.

Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms while using this medicine:

Muscle weakness, especially in the legs or feet

Numbness or tingling, especially in the legs

Back pain

Loss of control of your bladder or bowels

Don't take ELIQUIS if you have an artificial heart valve or active bleeding.

This drug may cause you to bleed or bruise more easily.

Try to avoid activities that increase your risk of bleeding or injury while using ELIQUIS. Call your doctor right away if you injure yourself — especially if you hit your head.

Let your healthcare provider know you're using this medicine before having any type of medical or dental procedure.

Before starting treatment with ELIQUIS, tell your doctor if you have, or have ever had:

Kidney disease

Liver disease

Bleeding problems

A stroke

Allergies to medicines

Also, let your doctor know if you're age 80 or older, or if you weigh 132 pounds or less.

Keep all appointments with your doctor and laboratory while being treated with ELIQUIS. Your healthcare provider will probably order frequent tests to check your body's response to this medicine.

Pregnancy and ELIQUIS

ELIQUIS isn't believed to harm an unborn baby if taken during pregnancy.

But it may increase the risk of bleeding during your pregnancy or delivery.

Tell your doctor if you're pregnant, or might become pregnant, while using ELIQUIS.

It's not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Don't breastfeed a baby while taking ELIQUIS.
